You may remember us talking about this game when it was first announced back in December of last year where it was officially confirmed for iOS but we hit up Ben Cousins on Twitter to get confirmation that it would also be arriving for Android as well.
While there is the question of whether or not FPS games are any good on mobile devices, the fact remains that there are a decent amount of them available.
